Nakamichi was a legendary brand, and they're back trying to compete with the likes of Samsung, LG, Sony and Sonos in the soundbar space while talking smack to high end brands like Bang and Olufson and Sennheiser. Can there Home Theater in a box, the Nakamichi Dragon, actually hold up?

    I thought someone blew 80% of their AMD tech upgrade on a fuckin soundbar
  • @Batyalas
    Me with 10$ earphones: "hmm, yes, I hear the difference"
  • @Skradgee
    Linus: How can anyone spend $4000 on a sound bar? Audiophiles: Hold my money
  • @tavi679
    My Dad is an Audiophile, he’s spent roughly 40/45,000 dollars on sound equipment. His set up is kick ass but goddamn, that’s a whole ass car
  • @TAPS147
    Slightly misleading title though because it isn’t just the soundbar … The Dragon set includes both subs and surrounds. The sonos arc set, if you add an extra sub, is pretty much the same price so that would be an interesting comparison if you get the chance
  • @1birdwatcherr
    Sooo.... it's not a soundbar. It's a full surround sound speaker setup... with a soundbar.
  • @FilthE
    How could anyone buy a 4000$ sound bar? Other than me
  • @Eli-zb2yj
    Title: How could anyone spend $4000 on soundbar? Linus: I get it for free
  • @branscombe_
    been watching Linus since 2009 during NCIX days, so proud of how far you’ve come and not even having aged a day
  • @mrrolandlawrence
    omg the Nakamichi Dragon is back! back in the day they were the best tape decks / turntables. costing $$$$.
  • @Muscleduck
    It's unfortunate that you didn't mention the price of the Arc. The MSRP is probably around 900 but you can find it on sale fairly regularly. I paid 630 last year.
  • @zwatotem
    I clicked because Linus was on the bottom.
  • @drachamberlain
    "I dont call them 3 speakers?" No, you have a 3 way speaker doto!
  • @A-stray42
    Laughs in $50 yard sale Polk soundbar with subwoofer
  • @Black_Blade7
    The fact the first item of the theater-audio-list is more expensive then the soundbar is just insane
  • @spdcrzy
    I'm SO glad the Dragon is finally on LTT! That system is a BEAST. I'm getting one when I move into my new place. This was never designed to be a big punchy bassy system - it was actually meant for apartments and small rooms where the room effect would significantly add to the bass. And this is the ONLY soundbar that uses the actual AVR Atmos codec, not the soundbar codec.
  • @andrewc31394
    Nakamichi has been crushing it in recent years for people who prefer having soundbar systems
  • @TheMrHotwheels
    folded ribbon tweeters are legit but there's no replacement for displacement soundbars will never be able to compete with dedicated speakers, especially in the mids like linus mentioned
  • @thexgamer8240
    If I spent $4000 on a sound bar, I would like the sound that comes through it to manifest in real life and tickle my eardrums.
  • @StormagedonBOD
    NGL, this is actually a compelling option if you're someone who wants great sound in a constrained space. Most people are not gonna spend Linus level money on their house and are not gonna have such a spacious room for a home theater set-up, but what they might wanna do is have a nice audio setup in their living room for when they wanna watch movies, TV shows or have friends and family over.
